You’ll hike 3.75 miles round trip on a difficult trail to see Holley Falls. The falls may not be as impressive, but the path through the preserve is a wooded haven with the spillway-falls as a bonus. Take the Lake Loop, which circles Candler Lake, to reach the dam and spillway. Located in the middle of Emory University’s campus, you may encounter leopard frogs, spotted newts, beaver, river otter, white-tailed deer, and more in the nature preserve. Lastly, the Spillwater Falls at Lullwater Preserve should make your list of waterfalls to visit near Atlanta.
The historic feature pours from the 30-foot spillway dam, which was built on Vickery Creek in the mid-to-late 1830s to supply power for the Roswell mills. The lovely waterfall is surrounded by hiking trails and years of history involving the Roswell Mill Dam. Vickery Creek Mills Falls at Roswell Mill Dam, may not be as spectacular but could be preferable if you have small children. Note that it’s just one of several beautiful waterfalls at Cochran Mill Park! Beware: you’ll have to wade through several streams or washouts to get to the falls. The waterfall cascades over a colorful rock outcrop, as it tumbles into a shallow pool below. The trail offers scenic views through pretty woodlands before reaching the falls. It’s a 5.6-mile multi-use trail located near Palmetto, Georgia. The Henry Mills Falls are reached via the trail of the same name.
Henry Mill Falls, Vickery Creek Mills Falls, and the Spillwater Falls at Lullwater Preserve are the top three I would consider visiting. These falls may not be quite so breathtaking as others around the state but are still quite lovely to behold. If you’re unable to stray far from the city, the next few waterfalls may fit the bill.
